A 137-site campground is situated in a shady, wooded site with buffer strips between most of the sites. Bewabic has picnic areas, a tennis court, a hiking trail, two playgrounds, an excellent beach and a boat launch to Fortune Lake. It is also part of the Iron County Heritage Trail system. The 2.5 mile ski trail will be groomed for both classical and skating style skiing. The park is also open to individuals who want to snowshoe.
